“It is a mathematical fact that the casting of this pebble from my hand alters the centre of gravity of the universe.”
-Thomas Carlyle
While technically true, what old Tomboy fails to mention is that at the same time he’s tossing off his little pebbles, there are untold and mindboggling numbers of other events taking place in the universe over which he has absolutely no control, any of which could counteract any effect his piddly little pebble tossing might have had.
Of course as a self-centered human being I didn’t actually see that for myself but was fortunate enough to have my friend Schmelnoz around to explain it to me.
Schmelnoz explains to me a lot about how obscenely arrogant and ignorant us human beings are.
And the pisser of it is he’s always right.
